Analogy and revision in the case of Shikō Munakata","authors":"Lana Tran","doi":"10.1080/02666286.2023.2195839","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02666286.2023.2195839","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract After a fortuitous encounter with a reproduction of Vincent van Gogh’s Six Sunflowers in 1920s Japan, then teenager Shikō Munakata (1903–75) famously pledged to become “Japan’s Van Gogh.” Instead, Munakata would become a woodblock printmaker celebrated in a purposely non-analogical manner not only as “the world’s Munakata” but also, later, as “Japan’s Munakata,” amongst numerous other variations. Conveyed through successive (dis)analogies, the story of Munakata’s artistic development makes clear certain national paradigms entangled in the historization of Japanese modern art. In this case study, I trace the varied ways in which Munakata and others construct, propagate, and modify analogy in an active and, at times, unwitting process of historicization across several contexts, including Munakata’s own visual and textual legacy, the writings of his contemporaries and art historians, and the interpretive approaches of museums. This article focuses on key insights from historiographical research and a site visit to the Munakata Shiko Memorial Museum of Art in Aomori, Japan. This example is unusual and significant in that an analogy proposed by the artist himself (Japan’s Van Gogh) is adopted and modified by others in a way to which Munakata responds in different ways throughout his life. In comparing the intentions and contexts that underlie each instance, I discuss ruptures in how Munakata’s life and work are interpreted in writings about the artist. I emphasize that analogies need not be static; they are also strategically inconsistent, malleable, and thus revelatory of their underlying conventions.","PeriodicalId":44046,"journal":{"name":"WORD & IMAGE","volume":"53 1","pages":"300 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Millet’s focus on the imagery of the peasantry and his purported identification with the peasant made him a unique figure in the rise of a discourse on native soil, which conflates peasants, the land, the Communist revolution, and a distinctive Chineseness in art. This discourse first took form during the War of Resistance against Japan (1937–45) and continues to thrive in China today. This article examines the growing list of artists—from the well-known masters Gu Yuan (1919–96) and Luo Zhongli (1948–) to lesser-known artists whose professional work was supported by state painting academies and teaching institutions—who have been named the “Chinese Millets.” I propose that “Millet” continues to be effective as a trope in the discussion and imagination of art in China today because his life story provides multiple thrusts—the rapport with peasants, the simplicity and nobility of an artist’s character, an unflinching insistence on one’s own style in opposition to more fashionable trends—in support of a vague conviction of the vitalist force of the native soil. This simultaneously eases Chinese artists’ anxiety over their distinction in the international contemporary art world and echoes the civilizational nationalism increasingly promoted by the party state. Foregrounding the persistent phenomenon of likening to Millet in art discourse in China, this study reveals the challenges and dilemmas of an art world that simultaneously strives to rise in the global order and manages to work with an authoritarian state that both promises generous patronage and demands cooperation.","PeriodicalId":44046,"journal":{"name":"WORD & IMAGE","volume":"29 1","pages":"311 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139364243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
